Glutathione (GSH) is the major source of intracellular sulfhydryl groups. Oxidized GSH (GSSG) can be recycled to GSH by the GSH reductase or exported from the cell. The mechanism by which GSSG is exported and the consequence of its export from endothelial cells has not been defined previously. We found that human endothelial cells express the multidrug resistance protein-1 (MRP1) and use this as their major exporter of GSSG. Oscillatory shear stress, which is known to stimulate endothelial cell production of reactive oxygen species, decreased intracellular GSH. In contrast, laminar shear significantly increased intracellular GSH. Oscillatory shear also caused a robust export of GSSG that was prevented by the MRP1 inhibitor MK571 and by MRP1 small interfering RNA. MRP1 inhibition prevented the decline in intracellular GSH, preserved the intracellular GSH Nernst potential, and reduced apoptosis caused by oscillatory shear. In aortas of hypertensive mice, endothelial disulfide export was doubled, and this was prevented by MK571 and was not observed in aortas of hypertensive MRP1/ mice. Further, the altered endothelium-dependent vasodilatation caused by hypertension was ameliorated in MRP1/ mice. GSSG export by MRP1 leads to a perturbation of endothelial redox state and ultimately endothelial cell apoptosis. Endothelial MRP1 may provide a novel therapeutic target for prevention of vascular disease.
